Active subwoofer help?
My AV reciever says that the subwoofer channel has maximum 190w. Now, if my subwoofer has its own internal amplifier, achieving, say, 500w, would that work?
If the sub has its own amplifier why does it need power from the amp? Surely all it is sending is the audio information? I can understand the business with speakers, as the power source is sent through the speaker wire, but isnt the sound signal for the sub sent through the RCA and the sub left to power itself?
In short, if my reciever says 190w max output on the sub channel, will it be a waste of 310W if I buy a 500w sub?
I am a newbie, sorry. 
The subwoofer is active, and it came with the reciever as a package in the box system so the reciever does work with an active sub. It says max 190w on the receiver/amp and the sub itself says it is 80w atm, but I am thinking of upgrading.
In terms of sub-related outputs on the amp, it has a single RCA connector, which is standard (isn't it?).
Unfortunately we are not there to see the various outputs your receiver has, or the inputs your sub has.
Powered subs should be driven off a low level output, not one capable of driving speakers, that would burn up the sub's amp. it sounds like your amp has an output to drive a passive sub, you must find a different low level sub output.
Usually outputs are labeled well, check the outputs, maybe look for "active", and "passive".
